I never gave that a thought, I have been all through the articles there too. Thanks!

I need a tear down and rebuild manual for the Cummins engine in my M818. Where do I get one? I thought the TM covered that but I guess not! I downloaded the latest TM I believe, at least the latest from the old site anyway. I need this in a hurry, I have all my parts to get this pig back together.

Got some updates. Tore into the Cummins a few weeks ago, found the number 2 piston was partially missing, and 4 bent valves. The bottom 1/3 of the sleeve was non existant!!! Acctually the pieces were in the pan. Number one had a couple minor chips out of the top of the piston, but the bottom of...

Sweet deal. I am certainly in no hurry, being as the engine is tore down from whatever happened! Taking my knowledge from 5.9 Cummins wrenching is going to be a huge help in the tuning on the big Cummins for sure. I am a diesel junkie, eat, sleep, and breath them! I know a few tricks I will be...

Just a few questions for everybody. I have been doing some reading, and have seen mention of the PT pump, PTG pump, AFC, yadda yadda yadda.... Anyway, How do you identify these things, I think I have a handle on the AFC, I am assuming thats for a turbo cummins? How do you turn up the power...

Got er home, thanks to Mike Pop for the recommendation on Scott Nowlan!!

I did open the drain on the filter to try and drain any water off, but just like any other oriface a stupid wasp could get into on the truck there was mess of mud in it. Being as I bought it from a member from this site, I am apalled at the issues.

Well, we got the truck back and tore into the top end, we pulled the rocker boxes saw nothing wrong in there, so we dug a little deeper, pulled the middle head where we THOUGHT the noise was comming from, and nothing. SO onto the other 2, pulled the rear, nothing, pulled the front head, and well...

Same question, will do some research but sense I am already here.... Which Cummins engines are compatible with the 250? Heads, turbo intakes, jakes...... Thanks guys any info is appreciated!

Hi all, have a few things to ad to the post from my class 8 semi driving, and Dodge cummins hot rodding, I am a major diesel junkie! I believe most class 8 semi engines be it Cummins, Cat, or Detroit run 15:1 and in that close ball park for compression. A higher compression engine with a...

Thanks for the input, Pics will be taken, I have a couple decent ones from the trip. Didnt end up taking as many as I had hoped do to the lost hope! Yes it did/does have all the belts and such before the trip. I checked everything as I do with a tractor trailer, right down to air pressures in...

Bought a 1970 M818 with the 250 Cummins that was supposed to have been refurbed at letter kenney in 99 according to the data tag, has now 2400 miles. And on the drive back with the truck 10 miles from where we picked it up all of a sudden I got a VERY loud knock in the top end, sounds like a rod...

I am in need of immediate transport for an M818 that is broke down outside of Scranton PA on I380 to go to Binghamton NY. I was driving it back from NJ when something happened, it runs and drives, but something happened to a head. And blew a power steering line earlier in the trip as well. I...

HELP! Bought an M818 for work, but now finding out no will do MV commercial insurance, can only find antique/collector insurance. Just called Gulfway and they dont/cant either! We need to get this truck home ASAP, not to mention get to work! Any and all help is appreciated!

Hi all! A buddy of mine has a 54 M38A1 with a Warn overdrive, how does it work? Only 2 wheel drive? or all ranges and 4 wheel? We are restoring it, just got the engine done and about ready to fire! This is my first experience with these old Jeeps it is sooo cool, all the little things that were...

Thanks, knew about Kublos, probably should have mentioned that huh?

Hi all, I am new here, I am looking for any other surplus dealers in the north east area. I am trying to find a 5ton tractor for as cheap as possible (arnt we all?) I have only found 1 in the local area to me, and its a decent price I think at 7500 bucks? But just doing some shopping. Any help...

Hi all, new here, I am local to Kublo's as well. Kenny is going to be out of town for a while, sometime in April I guess is when he is supposed to be back? I asked him last time I was there he isnt dealing in CUCV's anymore, I dont remember why though. And I will vouch for his duece...
